Airline Crowdsources First Destination of its New Dreamliner 787 [VIDEO]

Thomson Airlines is asking you to help decide where its new Dreamliner 787 plane should travel for its first flight.

The company released an interactive infographic, called the "Dreamliner Dash," which gives the new plane an espionage-themed backstory — think an animated Catch Me If You Can.

At the end of the graphic, you're asked to choose a destination for the company's next route — Mexico's Pacific coast, Brazil, South Africa or Thailand — for travelers, once the plane is ready to make its first flight in the spring.

The Dreamliner can fly nonstop for 8,000 miles, which is why the four destination options are international. The plane's amenities will include more leg and head room, and 30% larger windows (which dim with the push of a button.) It will also have smart lighting that mimics natural light — ideally, to reduce jet lag around awkward arrival times like dawn and dusk.

Watch the video above to learn more. Which destination would you choose?
